Hadith 1650

Ghudaif ibn Al-Harith reported: "I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): 'Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform Ghusl (ritual bath) for Janabah (major impurity) at the beginning of the night or at the end?' She replied: 'Sometimes he performed Ghusl at the beginning of the night, and sometimes at the end.' I said: 'Allahu Akbar! Praise be to Allah, who has made the matter flexible.' I asked: 'Did he pray Witr at the beginning of the night or at the end?' She replied: 'Sometimes he prayed Witr at the beginning of the night, and sometimes at the end.' I said: 'Allahu Akbar! Praise be to Allah, who has made the matter flexible.' I asked: 'Did he recite aloud or quietly?' She replied: 'Sometimes he recited aloud, and sometimes quietly.' I said: 'Allahu Akbar! Praise be to Allah, who has made the matter flexible.'"
